Description

A joy-filled cheer of appreciation for loud, trouble-making, outrageous kids. Katerina Cruickshanks is a wild child, a trickster, and a ringleader. But when they wreak some serious chaos, their friends decide their shenanigans have gone too far and say, 'No more!' Brimming with humour and warmth, Katerina shows us that there's no such thing as being too much; it's just a matter of finding the friends who will love you as you are. 'Katerina's wonderfully eccentric personality and theatricality shines through on every page where the kaleidoscopic illustrations help bring the whimsical nature of their character to life. What stands out about this book is the author's choice to use non-binary pronouns for the main character, a rarity in children's books. Because their identity is not a factor in the storyline, it represents the LGBTQIA+ community and instils inclusivity simply by celebrating people and their differences.' -Fiona Buckley, Irish Examiner 'A raucous, rhyming homage to a child who uses they/them pronouns and their outrageous personality ... Throughout author/illustrator Gray-Barnett's latest picture book, Katerina's gender is refreshingly presented without commentary. Instead, Katerina's boisterous personality and larger-than-life antics are the centre of the story ... Y oung readers will be tickled by the kooky protagonist, rendered in scribbly, joyfully-coloured illustrations.' -Kirkus Reviews 'Katerina read like a modern-day descendant of Sendak's Rosie, also blessed with an outsized personality and flamboyant sense of style. The images were very dynamic; a two page-spread showing evidence of Katerina sowing chaos was especially fun ... This celebratory story of a non-binary child in which that characteristic is not the sole focus of the book is refreshing and rare. Kids, families, and librarians looking for representation will enjoy this story.' -Youth Services Book Review

Author Biography:

Daniel Gray-Barnett is an illustrator and author from the Huon Valley in Lutruwita/Tasmania. He likes to think of himself as someone who was put on this planet to tell a few stories before he turns into a grumpy old man. He's worked with clients including Disney, Kiehl's, Sydney Opera House, and The New York Times. His first picture book, Grandma Z, won a Children's Book Council of Australia award for Best New Illustrator. When he's not in the studio, he can be found daydreaming in the garden with his husband, German pointers, and chickens.
